APA Traces History of Racism in Psychiatry and the Nation in Second Member Town Hall

|

Just a few days before the 57th anniversary of the civil rights March on Washington, where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream Speech,” APA hosted the second in a series of town hall meetings to address structural racism in psychiatry. A distinguished panel of Black psychiatrists spoke to approximately 425 APA members about how the Black Lives Matter movement is an outgrowth of the civil rights initiatives of the 1960s, what anti-racism is, and the impact of racial injustices within the organization, the profession, and the country.
